“Sundays for me are Yves, Lee Perry, the stroke of oars in the real. When Mathieu Renard, from Lendroit Editions, suggested that I accompany the artist in the le 4×3 project, I immediately imagined creating a narrative that everyone could see in the street, from the car. An open-ended narrative that would reflect the restlessness and sweetness of conversations, the incomparable presence of family, friends, music and people. But you don’t enter an artistic universe like that, you don’t search. You knock at the door; you wait on the step. The artist offers up chosen images, pictures to assemble, solitary images, fragments, crumbs, but the right images, torn from reality like someone coming up for air after long strokes underwater.
Yves Trémorin’s work speaks for itself and I am not qualified to comment on it. This is just my tiny attempt to speak about the man, the mildness of the man, who has created a work that reminds us constantly of the violence and beauty of our lives. “Come ashore to feed the hungry belly ones”, [The Congos, Row Fisherman, C. Myton, R. Johnson, L. Perry, 1977] (Benoît Laffiché)
The 4×3 project is an artistic program run by L’endroit Editions since 2019. Every three months, an artist produces, free of charge, six images for display on billboards at 77-99 avenue Aristide Briand in Rennes. A 24 hour-a-day open air gallery.
